Chicken wings, nacho cheese sauce and other Super Bowl party leftovers in these random thoughts for a Tuesday:

» Super Bowl XLVIII was the first game in NFL history with the final score 43-8.

» Pete Carroll joins Barry Switzer and Jimmy Johnson in the elite class of head coaches with college football and Super Bowl championships. Carroll is among a long list of former Pacific players and coaches who have gone on to greatness in the NFL. But the list hasn't increased since the university dropped football in 1995, and most assuredly never will bring it back.

» Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was impressed Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning asked about his injured ankle following Sunday's blowout. "To show that kind of concern for an opponent shows a lot of humility and class," Sherman said. We'll see if any of that rubbed off on Sherman next time he faces 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree.

» Nevada casinos accepted a record $119 million in wagers for Sunday's game. The previous record was $98.9 million last year. Sunday's TV ratings, despite the lopsided score, were the highest in U.S. history with 111 million viewers, and the halftime show featuring Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers set a record with 115 million viewers.

» Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant scored 590 points in January, the most in the month of January since George "The Ice Man" Gervin scored the same total in 1980.

» Just two days before pitchers and catchers report for the Diamondbacks. Most teams start in another week or two.

» Wild dogs running amok, hotel rooms not finished, security and political concerns, all of that should dissipate once the athletes take center stage starting Friday at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

» Hall of Fame receiver and NFL analyst Cris Carter called Seattle's receivers an "appetizer" prior to the Super Bowl. As the Seahawks routed the Broncos, Steelers linebacker Chris Carter's Twitter account was flooded by Seattle fans ripping him for his comments. Only he didn't make them. Cris Carter did, not Chris Carter.

» Dylan Garrity made a 75-foot buzzer-beater to give Sacramento State, coached by former Delta coach Brian Katz, a 3-point victory in overtime Saturday against Weber State. The replay was shown on SportsCenter. But Katz didn't see it, "Because in my mind, I was already coaching the second overtime."

» Among the celebrities scheduled to appear this season at Ports games is actor Dennis Haskins, who played Mr. Belding, the principal of Bayside High in the TV series "Saved by the Bell." He'll be at Stockton Ballpark on April 25, and fans are encouraged to break out their 90's apparel.

» The Pacific men's basketball team might be near the bottom of the West Coast Conference standings but the Tigers showed a lot of hustle during Saturday's 84-67 win at San Diego. Just 23 days until Gonzaga comes to town.
